It has been so busy the last few weeks. We had a fun pony party for Abby she is now 5. It was so fun. It was a My little pony party. It was hard cause there is not much little pony party stuff so I had to really use my head. It was a great success though. All the girls loved it. Abby's favorite part was the cowboy boot pinata. I would have guessed the barrell racing on the stick horses would have been. She did not want to stop. I just can't believe my baby is 5!! She is always reminding me she is 5 and now she can go to the big school now.
Colton has been keeping me running. He is big on going outside so the past few days when the sun pops out he tells me it is warm outside cause the sun is out. Then he goes outside for a few minutes, and comes in and says that he has changed his mind.
Little Miley is starting to really think she is big. She is sitting, rolling, shaking her head No (not my favorite thing when I am trying to feed her), and she is a jumper in her little jumperoo. My arms get the workout, when I am not home to use the jumperoo. She is also laughs over everything. Last Sunday in church all Abby had to do was look at her and she would laugh, so of course Abby kept it up till I had to move Abby on the other side of Jon.
Besides the kids growing I have the best news I finally got a brand new huge set of a washer and dryer. Who knew that would be so exciting. To me it is wonderful especially during the winter.
I also I am just now getting the hang of being a single mom. Jon leaves at 5am and does not get home till 7 or 7:30pm. He is doing that 6 days a week. It has been a big adjustment for us, but I am so grateful he has a job.
That catches you up on almost everything we have been doing the last few weeks.
One thing that I am not looking forward to going through again is my little girl got her heart broken. Her best friend, donkey, was takin to a new home. My husbands friend needed to get rid of him, and we have been having him stay in our pasture. So little Abby has become quite attached, and when they came to get it she was trying to tell them that they needed to come back later. It was so sad.
Enjoy SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!! I am going for the underdogs.

It is a New Year and a fresh start. I love the feeling of being able to set new goals, and see a new challenge. Jon and I brought in the New Year with a party at our house with the family. It was so fun. My husband is not a late person so he usually falls asleep, I wake him up around 11:50 we wait till twelve, and that is it. This is we spiked his drink with some Mountain Dew. WOW!!! He was the life of the party. My family was in shock they have never seen the loud, excited side of my husband. We played games and laughed till we peed our pants. It was so fun!!

Then New Years day Jon and I went and had some needed alone time at the anniversary Inn. It was so fun!! Then we went snowshoed up Dry Canyon got to a spot where we could see everything, and read Jon's lesson for Sunday. That was the best scripture study we have had for a long time. As we sat there we watched all the beautiful things God created for us. The turkey's flying from one hill to the next. It was so fabulous. That is a freezing moment for sure.

This New Year also brings the physical challenge we all love weight loss. Except this year I am going against my mom. We are doing this crossfit gym and of course the healthy eating, but the physical activity is the thing that is most challenging for me. I have to sqeeze it in between three kids, and a busy working husband. So good luck to all you with your resolutions, and have a great NEW YEAR !!!
